"Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle."
-Adolf Hitler

One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.
Joseph Stalin

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions,
even though they have been held in honor
for many generations and in diverse places.
Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it.
Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past.
Do not believe what you yourself have imagined,
persuading yourself that a God inspires you.
Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.
After examination, believe what you yourself have tested
and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

• Buddha

"Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle."

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
Oscar Wilde

Any car which holds together for a whole race is too heavy.

Though I don't always agree with him, he is awesome. 😎

Do but despise reason and science,
The highest of all human gifts -
Then you have surrendered to the Devil
And must surely perish. - J.W. von Goethe

"Eternity isn't so bad after all !"

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

My boss told me this earlier today and it sounds familiar...

The cool part is that I never get tired of being deceived

Quote from tactics

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

We will not go to Heaven,Goetz, and even if we both entered it, we would not have eyes to see each other, nor hands to touch each other. Up there, God gets all the attention. You are here: a bit of flesh worn, torn, miserable, your life - a sad life. It is this flesh and this life I love. We can only love on this earth and against God.

-The Devil and the Good Lord by Sartre

"A pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist." (Mass Effect)

"Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it." (George Carlin)

"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?" (George Carlin)

Probably my favorite and possibly not a quote, but I just find it funny...

"Girls = Time X Money
(Time = Money)
Girls = Money X Money => Girls = Money^2
(Money = roots of all evil)
Girls = SquareRoot(Money^2)
Girls = Evil."
(Meme I saw online, lol)

You all breach to this thread "like mouth to the flame".

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

and
"Our sleep is troubled by dreams we cannot forget we have forgotten."
which I think I read somewhere or heard someone say once. But it's cool 🙂

and finally
"Then, as now, the thieves were smarter than the police..."
which was in a book about architecture, surprisingly, by Salvadori I think

Found this quote today whilst flicking through a "birthday astrology" book my cousin got for christmas, that was quoted on my birthday and just summed up my life in one sentence:

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then to rest afterwards"

so, I'm just reading this black humour book and it's hilarious xDDD just some quotes (I translated them, so they probably don't sound as good as they really do, whatever...)

"If you want to be the center of a party you just have to stay away from it." Audrey Hepburn

"Some people who tap your back, just want to break it" Pia Stroom

"You won't believe me, but there are states ruled by the most intelligent. It's the case with baboons" Konrad Lorenz

EDIT: YOOHOO! This was my 100th post xD. Merry Christmas! and a happy new year ♪♪♪♫♫♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♫♪♫♫♫♫

There's nothing to see here. Proceed with what you were doing or throw rainbows at random pedestrians.

It's probably already been mentioned in this thread somewhere but...

"There is nothing in this world that is truly "perfect". Though it may be a rather large cliché, it is still the truth. It is the ordinary people who look up to "perfection" as an ideal and seek after it. But in truth, what is this idea of "perfection" truly worth? Nothing. Not a single thing. I detest "perfection". To be "perfect" is to be unable to improve any further. There would be no scope for "creation", not a single gap in one's knowledge or one's ability. Do you see now? To true scientists like you and I, "Perfection" is tantamount to "despair". We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, NEVER, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, the second you allowed yourself to spout a ridiculous word like "perfect", in truth, you had already been defeated. That is if you wish to be treated as a scientist." -Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach)
